About this episode
Mike Handcock discusses the essence of conscious leadership and the importance of human connection.

He shares what he believes conscious leadership is all about and how people have different “soul notes” and rhythms, why connection and relationships matter – core strengths that cannot be replicated by AI. We explore how his interests influence the way he lives his life – how listening, accountability, learning from setbacks, ancient wisdom, the pyramids, and living intentionally create a cacophony of meaningful memories for him. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 02:00 Serendipity and Awards 03:26 What Is Conscious Leadership 05:29 Soul Note and Resonance 09:40 Intuition Exercises 12:15 Nature for Clarity 13:53 Essence Values and Boundaries 16:43 AI and Human Connection 18:37 Orphaned and Giving Back 22:30 Failure Labels and Lessons 26:36 Relationships and Communication 29:26 Phones Accountability and Choice 32:50 Fix Mistakes Fast 33:04 Say No to Bad Clients 34:38 Walking Away From Millions 36:28 Hire Better Than You 38:40 Values as Your GPS 40:28 Resourcefulness and Hope 41:34 Listening That Sells 42:50 Excellence and the Dragon 45:35 Pythagoras and Planet Music 47:52 Egypt and…
